Guatemala Railways
Despite the existence of a railway network, no passenger or freight train currently runs in Guatemala. The body in charge of the railway management (Concession Ferrovías Guatemala - FVG) suspended traffic operations in 2007 after months of dispute with the government of Guatemala and subsequent decline of shipments and increase of operational difficulties. As of 2011, most of the bridges have been dismantled and sold for scrap by thieves, making a potential revival of railways in Guatemala, difficult, as it would cost millions of dollars to rebuild. Ferrovias was re-nationalized in December, 2012 <> Railroads of Guatemala
